Waller apologizes for the delay in writing. Waller asks BR his opinions on minor amendments to the manuscript including changing "synopsis" to "manuscript" and the use of a quotation from Dr. Haddow.

Waller had visited BR the previous week.

BR has no objection to using the word "manuscript" but suggests Waller obtain Haddow's permission to use a quotation. BR adds that publication will be difficult and will grow more difficult with each day "since more and more vested interests will be concerned in concealment."

Lord Kemsley is unlikely to assent but it will be to his credit if he does, according to BR.

Letter is typed on the verso of page 1 of Waller's letter (see record 70624). Also present is a copy (ALD,X) of BR's reply.

Waller encloses the first proofs of "The Great Shocker", his article on the implications of atomic technology. Waller is trying to obtain a paper from Prof. Muller that was forbidden at Geneva and a Japanese report on the effects of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs.

Waller encloses the proofs of his second article on atomic technology, specifically radiation. The first article was very successful and "interest in the series is greater than any other series in the last five years."

Waller writes explaining a situation in which he quotes Joseph Rotblat. Rotblat, who denied making such a statement, wrote a letter of complaint to The Times. Waller encloses letters between himself and Rotblat and one that Wason sent to The Times. Waller asks for BR's advice.

Waller encloses a statement by Prof. Haldane (not present) and explains how it will "cause a little fur to fly in certain quarters." A lengthy discussion follows of Waller's frustrations with the Rotblat situation. Rotblat sent Waller a personal letter explaining his position (enclosed) but asked not to have it published and seems to avoid acknowledging any wrongdoing on his part.

Waller encloses his fourth article on radiation. He notes that the middle section will be cut in order to accommodate Prof. Rotblat and says: "There seems very little hope, now, of any amicable settlement." The Sunday Chronicle is prepared to take legal action. On a positive note, Waller received a letter of support from Dr. A.E.P. Twort.

The enclosure is a 16-page carbon copy.

Waller is interested in BR's comments to Wason on Aberdeen and discusses what he knows of the geography and geology of the area. Waller also describes a frustrating meeting between Wason and Rotblat. Waller is prepared to write a letter to The Times as his limits have been reached.

Wason thanks BR for his letter of support and tells him of the meeting with Rotblat who "is still sticking to his point that he was misquoted." The Sunday Chronicle is also "having a tremendous argument with Pedascope Ltd., makers of x-ray machines for shoe shops." Wason will keep BR apprised of further developments.

Waller encloses 2 copies of his fourth article on radiation (not present). The section concerning Rotblat was omitted at the last moment because Rotblat did not reply. Waller submitted a letter to The Times and asked them to hold it until he wrote them again. Legal affairs are disheartening but Waller has received messages of support from people and scientists and is glad that the matter of radiation has been taken up by the United Nations. Waller is preparing his final article in which he hopes to explain the controversy about the topic and the discrepancy in points of view.

Waller encloses a proof of his final article on radiation and asks BR if alterations should be made and if he would like to write a message to be included. The Sunday Chronicle will soon cease to exist as a result of a business deal and will be replaced by the Daily Mirror and the Sunday Pictorial. Waller feels it is futile to carry on a dispute with Rotblat concerning the responsibility of a paper that will no longer exist. Waller feels the series was worthwhile and thanks BR for all his help.

Waller encloses a proof of the final article (not present). The editor of the Empire News wanted to run this article with an extract that BR wrote. Waller hopes the paper does not do so without BR's permission. Waller is unsure about his future employment prospects. He asks BR if he would speak to Rotblat so that no sentiments of anger or resentment remain. Waller is thankful for the opportunity to have written BR and thanks him for his support.

Waller writes BR asking for his help regarding ownership and publishing rights of the radiation series that Waller wrote.

Waller says: "The Kemsley people (for whom I no longer work, thank heaven!) not only stole the rights; they completely bungled the job of handling them." BR is asked to recall a conversation in which Wason, editor of the Sunday Chronicle, stated that the series would belong to Waller.

BR writes Waller to tell him he remembers the conversation they had with Wason in which Wason said the copyright of the series belonged to Waller if the Sunday Chronicle did not publish it.

BR cannot recall Waller's rights in the case that the paper did publish the series.

The letter is a typed draft edited in Edith Russell's hand.

Beilis seeks BR's help in obtaining an exit visa from the U.S.S.R. for his family. Beilis and his wife live in Israel.

Wood, on behalf of BR, thanks Beilis for his letter. The BRPF will take up Beilis's son's matter with the Soviet authorities.

Schoenman writes, "We should be grateful if you could tell us the exact position with regard to your wife's and son's request for an exit visa from the Soviet Union."

Waller thanks BR for his letter but "it didn't help me towards any satisfactory solution of the business with Kemsleys...." "Apparently Wason denied saying all he said as claimed by Waller". "... I didn't argue the point. I didn't mention the letter. Faced with denials on such a scale and in such circumstances, there isn't much point in arguing."

Afterwards, Wason offered Waller £100 which was refused, as Wason said, "I dislike letting any man purchase a clearance for his conscience." Waller still likes Wason and does not bear him any grudge. Waller is working again and is glad to be rid of the whole affair and thanks BR for his generous help.
